3-8 ADAPTERS FOR SPECIMEN
CLAMPING
3-8-1 ADAPTER, NON-ORIENTING
This adapter serves for the non-orienting
fastening of the specimen clamps directly on the
cylinder of the instrument.
3-8-2 SPECIMEN ORIENTATION
• Using the specimen orientation to fasten the
specimen clamps on the cylinder head. This
allows the specimen to be aligned in relation
to the knife.
• To bring the specimen into the desired
position, turn the clamping lever (fig. 10.1)
towards the front.
• This will loosen the specimen clamp and a
rotation of 360° on the cylinder axis (Z axis) is
possible.
• With the two orienting screws (fig. 10.2), the
specimen clamp can be oriented 8° in each
direction on the X axis and Y axis.
• After having oriented the specimen, turn the
lever (fig. 10.1) upwards to fix the specimen
clamp in its position before starting sectioning.
• When turning the orienting screws (fig. 10.2) a
slight resistance can be felt in a specific
position.
• This means that the clamp is aligned in a
parallel way in relation to the cutting surface.
